Ex-Secret Service agent to appear on The Blaze TV

Obama's protector explains decision to 'take a bullet' for American people

President Obama and Dan Bongino as a member of the president's Secret Service team

Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino set out to inform the American people of how messed up their government has become under President Obama’s watch, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down, much less stopping.

Bongino will explain why he swore to take a bullet for the president but left it all behind to “take a bullet” for the American people.

Published by WND Books, “Life Inside the Bubble” tells the story of Bongino’s experiences inside the Washington, D.C., “matrix,” including within the inner sanctum of the White House. It shows readers why a government filled with some very dedicated people nevertheless continues to make tragic and perhaps fatal mistakes.

Bongino’s book has been endorsed by several commentators and public figures, including Hannity, Levin and former Rep. Allen West.

Bongino began his career in law enforcement with the New York Police Department in 1995. He joined the ranks of the Secret Service in 1999 as a special agent where he was assigned to investigate financial crimes.

In 2006, he entered into duty with the elite Presidential Protective Division in the administration of President George W. Bush and remained on protective duty during the change in administration to President Barack Obama. He resigned from the Secret Service in 2011 to run for a U.S. Senate seat in Maryland.

He has the endorsement of West, who said Bongino left the Secret Service at the height of his success “because he is an American patriot and the embodiment of the highest standards of honor, integrity and character … exactly what we need inside the bubble.”

Bongino said the district leans Democrat by just a couple of points, but he expects to have much larger volunteer forces and be very competitive in the money fight.
